Dude, I hate to burst your bubble, but that's not a triangle piece on the grill. It's the place where your nose fits in the sunglasses. Seriously, look at the picture. Sunglasses, mustache, wide grimacing mouth. The Evo is designed to look like Boris Badanoff in disguise. In any case, I like it. It's badanoff for me.

oh and i forgot to point out.. Mitsubishi and pontiac are not the only ones who have that grille style. Renault (which isn't sold in the US though) also has that kind of grille. At least on the Clio it does.

The new Megane 2 has the same front too...
Olivier Boulay is French after all... and I think he worked for either Renault or Peugeot
I just hope that the designs beyond the questionable grille will be stylish

I hope so too, or at least let's hope there are body kits available if that style doesn't grow on people. And as far as 
having the same designs as Renault, I would hope they don't. That new Megane 2 is fugly as hell, and not because of the grille, i can cope with that, but I don't know what they did to the back of that car. It will take quite some time before i can look at it and not feel like it's supposed to be different from what it is.
PS: I really really dig the Laguna though. One wouldn't associate Renault with high luxury but they did a good job in my opinion.

I do have to agree, I hated the car when i first seen pics of it. I was like ewww.. Tailights bleh, front bumper bleh. wingbleh.. but than when i actually got to see it at the la auto show, sit it in it, shifting it, all t he fun stuff,i realized this needs to be bought by me.
I think!?
